The streets of Iwagakure. The streets are all adorned with lights, with the more major avenues littered with streamers and lanterns all leading up to the town center.

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin walked through the streets, every once in a while a person would stop him yelling "Setsuko-san or Setsuko-kun or Setsuko-sama" He would stop and talk to them, he enjoyed the company of everyone in the village. This is why he loved to walk the streets so much, a few vendors would toss him a gift saying, "It's on the house." Rin's smile would grow as he decided to accept the gifts, yet one shop, still caught his eye, every time he passed it, the same shop he had bought his wife her very last gift, which she never got to open. It was a simple gift yet one she would have loved, it was then that a man walked over to him, he patted Rin on the back, "You are a strong man, but anytime you pass this shop I can't help but feel you get very weak." A tear fell from his cheek as he wiped the stream away he turned to the man, "You are correct, this is the one spot that I still can't seem to be around. It has been a year and I still can't get over their deaths. One day I will make them proud." He said this as the man chuckled slightly, "Rin, you have already made them proud, even if you were a normal man, they would still be proud of you. I assure you, making them proud is not something you must worry about my friend." He said this as he walked off back into his store, Rin smiled and continued down the street, he was happy everyone was so nice, if it wasn't for them he would have probably died the same night as his wife and daughter. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
I will protect everyone and everything I care about to my dying breath."
Umagi walked through the streets, as he saw many faces he just waved if they said hello. He would continue his way not sure to where to go he just came back from a mission and wasn't sure what he could do now? Maybe drink his worries away then memories came as he stood there holding his hand to his face. He was remembering everyone he loved being lost he had tried to forget them. He bumped into Rin "Sorry" he said as he kept walking finding a stone bench where he sat down, brushing his hair back. He looked at the sky this was like everyday what was he to do with his life? He really wasn't sure where he was going he had nothing to protect no ambition. He sighed and looked down at his feet why was this all he thought about. He used to be praised as a genius and a great shinobi now he is a wreck unable to get past the death of his comrades.

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin's clone felt a slight bump. The voice sounded familiar as the man apologized. Rin's clone turned and noticed it was Umagi, "Hey, Umagi...." He said this waving with a smile. He paused for a moment noticing the mans obvious depressed state of mind, "Hey, is everything okay Umagi?" He said as he sat next to the man on the stone bench. The man had been through a lot, but that was the life of a Shinobi. If anyone Rin understood him the best, however if it wasn't for the caring people in Iwagakure he would have most likely been in the same boat as Umagi, or worse. He hated seeing people depressed, even if this was merely a clone it still had the feelings and memories of Rin himself. He wondered if Umagi was going to receive a team of genin or not. He thought it would be good for the man, picking up responsibility for the young lives in Iwa was a good way to not only take the mind off of the past but it was also a good character development method for the teacher. He thought Umagi would make a swell teacher and one that could help develop the Genin at a rapid pace. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
I will protect everyone and everything I care about to my dying breath."
Umagi turned his head slightly too look at Rin. "Just a lot has been happening as of late. Have you ever wondered where your going, or what you should be doing. I feel that way i know i should forget about the past but i am unable to right now i need something to take my mind off it. Do you know of anyways to do so?" he asked him halfhearted to hear an answer, that he wasn't alone and could maybe have a suggestion to help fix his sorry state. He knows he would have to move on from his comrades death just he didn't want anyone to die nor feel his pain. So he got stronger for that exact reason, however he has no one too protect. He wished he could have a squad of his own maybe then he could try and forget about the deaths they weren't his fault after all. He fully looked at Rin, "Sorry for making you worry about me.."

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin listened to the man, he in fact did have an idea. As he was about to respond he heard the man apologize, "No need to apologize. I have been in your shoes, I know how life can be my friend. I think you need to talk to the Tsuchikage, maybe you can get your own team of Genin." He said this as he placed his hand on the man's shoulder, "I think having a team of Genin could do wonders for you, maybe they can keep your mind off the past. Maybe you will find where you are going in them, possibly even find a new goal for life. I am not going to say everything will get better, cause I do not believe that myself, however it does get easier. I wish I had all the answers, but I too am only just finding my way, I am sure you will find your way soon enough you are smarter than me, you just need a little motivation. I think leading a team of Genin might be just the motivation you need." He said this with a smile as he returned his hand to his side, it had been some time since Rin had been in a good enough mental state to give advice, but he could tell Umagi needed it and he knew what the man was going through. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
I will protect everyone and everything I care about to my dying breath."
Umagi gave a small smiled he really needed to hear that so a squad huh? Yeah that sounded good maybe he would definitely have the motivation for that if he had someone to protect then it would be a lot better that made him sort of excited. "I would really like to teach someone it would be a lot easier than always these high ranking mission that are life or death its kind of stressful." He scratched the back of his head and looked at the sky again. "Do you have a squad yet?" he asked rin assuming he did already since he was the one who suggested he get one. He chuckled him smarter he wasn't quite so sure about that. If he was he would have been able to do sometime about what he was feeling right now.

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin smiled hearing the man agree with him, and it was true the higher and more dangerous missions were much more stressful. Hearing the man ask if he had a squad he sighed, "I do not have a squad, I wanted to lead a squad, but my rank prevents that, aside from the Kage I am the strongest in the village, and with that being said I am required to take the serious missions or stay behind and make sure the village is safe in the Kage's absence. So with my rank I have to much going on to take care of the genin." He said with a slight smirk, he enjoyed his position but he was a bit disappointed he was unable to lead a squad. "I think a break from the higher missions would be good for you, so even if you don't get a squad maybe a break is just what you need." Rin said as he looked towards the sky as well, he didn't blame the man for looking at the sky it was indeed a beautiful day. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
I will protect everyone and everything I care about to my dying breath."
[OOC╏We have two maybe getting a third so thats a full squad, I am not sure whats going on with the other jounin but I haven't seen him post in awhile. If he is even still in the guild.]
Umagi had nodded "Well you can look at it this way you can protect more than the genin you protect everyone. People look up to you an aspire to be like you. You are the perfect role model for young kids which i think is a good" he explained it would be good for the genin to have a goal he always wanted to be strong to protect people that was his goal. "Tsuchikage i wouldn't be able to walk in his shoes. i'm not the best at making appropriate decisions. I'm just a Jonin who wants to protect his comrades. If i don't then i'm worse as a human being. So i cant stand by and let the people i care about be hurt that's why i wouldn't be able to handle his job. However it doesn't make you a bad person its for the sake of others safety that's why we do missions " he sighed he was glad he didn't have that responsibility it would stress him even more. "Taking a break would sound good i think ill speak to the Tsuchikage after my chat with you." He smiled he didn't want to end it so soon he was finally forgetting a bit about his past and looking towards the future.

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin listened to the man, without realizing it he had spoke of the few reasons that anyone would be good in the position of Tsuchikage, "I agree that my position is both crucial for the village, and makes the other shinobi look up to me. However with the fate of the village in my hands, it gets hard to handle sometimes." He smiled listening to the man even further, "I think wanting to protect your comrades is the perfect reason to be qualified, making hard decisions comes later. Kage's might have strong wills to do only what suits the village best, but the Kage's that make it their duty to protect the Shinobi that make up their village are the ones who are remembered forever." He said as he relaxed a bit more, "His job would be stressful you got that right. I think speaking to him would do you well, either a break or a team to lead, both would help you find yourself. I hope you will be able to find what the future holds for you, as well as leave the past where it belongs, behind you but always with you in your memories. Just don't let the past control you, never completely forget about the path you took or the people that helped you, just don't let the memories you have of them get you down. They wouldn't want to see you depressed and hurting, so don't let them be the reason for your suffering and pain." He said this as he stretched and popped his back and shoulders, soon after he popped his neck relieving the tension in his joints. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
I will protect everyone and everything I care about to my dying breath."
Umagi never really thought of it that what makes a kage a kage is the ability to know how to protect their comrades and making tough decisions. He nodded "Well even so, i'm to much of a wimp i cant handle so many people dying and knowing about it" he said than shook his head "Well no matter i am not the Tsuchikage i dont think i'm ready to move up i think a sensei job will get me back on my feet." he said looking at Rin again "I'm sure you would have been a great sensei you say i'm smarter but they way i look at it is you're much wiser than i am" he smiled

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin could only chuckle while listening to the man, making sure he was finished before Rin would chime in. "I wouldn't use the word wimp, more or less no Kage can handle the deaths of many. They hide their true emotions behind a strong composure, but they truly take the loss in a bad way, and some Kage's even blame themselves. I agree a sensei job is just what you need." He said this as he thought of what to say next, "I thank you for the compliment, not only on me being a possible good sensei but also on calling me wise. It is true that I could have led a team and possibly with great success, it is also true that I am wise. However I am only wise to things I have subjected to, new things require much concentration and thought process. For this reason alone I believe you are smarter than myself, however I deal better than most with reoccurring situations." Looking down towards Umagi, he had a slight smile spread across his face. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
I will protect everyone and everything I care about to my dying breath."
Umagi shook his head and nodded listening to the man. "Being wise to new things, hey?" He liked the sound of that it was true he was always wanting something new to happen this may be what he was speaking about. "But even if you are only good at speaking and knowing about one subject, you can help people that don't know making yourself a teacher without even knowing it." He said with a small smile and ruffled his green hair. "It's times like these i can enjoy myself no rush or worry just a nice chat with an old friend."

"This curse is more like a gift,
☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆ Rin nodded, "Yeah that is true, I know a little about a lot. Which I guess makes me at least a decent teacher. But I am sure anyone I teach would surpass me fairly quickly." Rin said as he sighed, "I agree, I am enjoying this as well. It has been awhile since I sat down and caught up with an old friend. It is actually quite relaxing." His tone was as laid back as ever, he wasn't sure what the future had in store for either of him, but he was more than ready to face whatever was to come. ☆═━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━═☆
